Inferno1424 Posted September 16, 2005 CID Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hi I'm new to this forum and found it while searching for a way to test my connection. I have Mediacom "High-Speed" Cable, and it certainly has not been high speed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptors892004 Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 Did you scan for spyware already with programs such as Ad-aware and Spybot Search and Destroy? If you do a scan with hijackthis program, could you post it in here, so we can eliminate the possibility that spyware is causing these fluctuating speeds..

organ_shifter Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 How are the speeds looking now Inferno1424? I see from your tweak url that "Path MTU Discovery" is not on, but it should be. Did you try cablenut yet? Let us know if you're making progress.

Inferno1424 Posted September 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 19, 2005 The log for hijack is rather large, and I recognize no processes that are suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptors892004 Posted September 20, 2005 CID Share Posted September 20, 2005 The log for hijack is rather large, and I recognize no processes that are suspicious. As of 5:41 on Monday I am given this result: :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 3485 Kbps about 3.5 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB) Download Speed is:: 425 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Mon Sep 19 17:41:27 CST 2005 Bottom Line:: 62X faster than 56K 1MB download in 2.41 sec Diagnosis: Looks Great : 5.03 % faster than the average for host (mchsi.com) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-YPC3A5SIV ... I was trying to figure out how to run cabelnut, i probably will not try it unless my connection gets slower. As far as I can tell this resulted from updating router firmware and perhaps it has not reached peaked times here? We'll see, I'll keep you updated. Thanks for the help. This is at 6:11PM Central :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 747 Kbps about 0.7 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 91 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Mon Sep 19 18:10:29 CST 2005 Bottom Line:: 13X faster than 56K 1MB download in 11.25 sec Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 22.51 % of your hosts average (mchsi.com) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-1X7OVFZP9 Those speeds are far better now.. Now your upload speed is what your download speed was before.. Cablenut modifies Windows registry to make Windows accept faster connections in simple terms.. It configures your registry with the optimal settings for your connection type.. Someone got the link to VanBuren's cablenut tweak files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
